1. Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo

2. 12 O’clock High

[grobdriver]

633 Squadron.

[Regulator]

Twelve O’Clock High

And The War Lover

Forgotten but powerful, and beautiful cinematography

[Tax-chick]

He was terrific in that role. Still rather charming by the time of “The A-Team,” but hard living had taken its toll.

“Midway” had lots of planes in it ...

[wbill]

Guess he picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.

[Errant]

Hey, you left out Flyboys and The Great Waldo Pepper!

[Sherman Logan]

Interesting movie. Problem is that it would NOT work.

The pilot for the version they built (in a real airplane workshop) crashed it and died.

[Regulator]

I Luv that movie!!

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

For the most part, a stunningly lame list. Off the top of my head, Flight of the Phoenix, No Highway in the Sky, Dr. Strangelove (the Slim Pickens parts), The Lost Squadron, Only Angels Have Wings (”Calling Barranca. Calling Barranca.”) and The Spirit of St. Louis.

[Gaffer]

I am so old it seems.

I like the movies you list, but my memories go back to others not even there.

Flying Tigers,
Twelve O’clock High
633 Squadron
The Dam Busters
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo

and so on.

Where is Dr. Strangelove??

[hosepipe]

Should be top 25 or even 50..

[wbill]

Or, even the original Memphis Belle movie (made during the war). It’s on youtube, and I’ve watched it a couple of times.

[bravo whiskey]

A CROWDED SKY and what was the one about the british COMET and the decompression issues?

[CrazyIvan]

I always figured it was pretty much fantasy. It did bother me that the passengers were on the wing where they would kill a lot of lift.

[Ancient Man]

Memphis Belle, Twelve O’Clock High, Midway, Flight of the Phoenix, Blue Max ...

[grobdriver]

Yup.
Think of what a job they could with modern special effects instead of models on a string!
